Obviously the ideal is to die under suspicious circumstances in a large house with many rooms and secret passages, a variety of potential murder weapons, and several mutually distrustful colorful characters.

That doesnt remove you from suspicion.

I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my uncle, not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Not likely though.

Had a heart attack recently... while waiting for surgery, asleep, they tell me my heart stopped for eight seconds.

No clue. Woke up in the morning like usual, browsing my phone when they come in and tell me.

Hopefully just like that.

[-] Truffle@lemmy.ml 17 points 7 months ago

My dad died this exact same way and while doctors kept saying he didn't suffer at all because it was so quick I just thought they were being reassuring since I guess that is what they are supossed to say.

Your comment helps me to make the burden of his passing a bit lighter. Thank you.

Well you probably starve to death lost in a giant space neandertal's vagina. Probably not as good as you think.

I should die due to my own negligence, playing fast and loose with custom firmware for my cyber heart at the age of 300.

Casualty of the heat death of the universe

[-] don@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago

Entropy reaching 1.0 will take a really long time. You sure you wanna be hanging around for several quadrillion years given cosmological inflation? That’s a whole lotta nothing for a whole lotta time…

[-] Kernal64@sh.itjust.works 15 points 7 months ago

I dunno about the guy you responded to, but speaking for myself, that might actually give me enough time to play through my Steam backlog.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 16 points 7 months ago

Peacefully in my sleep, like the guy in the joke, and not like the passengers of his car.

At age 92.

From a gunshot wound.

Fired by an outraged husband.

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 13 points 7 months ago

I'll never forget asking my father this question as a kid, and he answered without hesitation, "A bullet to the head." Fast-forward a few decades and that's how he went out by the firearm he carried to protect his family, causing more harm than any mugger or assailant could have caused if he was unarmed. Take care of yourself fellow lemms and dont dwell on death, focus on living a life you dont want to leave behind and keep pushing your Boulder up the hill regardless of how many times it rolls back down.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Are you saying he shot himself, or that someone shot him with his own pistol?

Its all good he went out how he wanted to, bastard didnt even leave a note.

What about your passengers though? ;)

[-] Asnabel@szmer.info 11 points 7 months ago

Fast and painless.

[-] GentlemanLoser@ttrpg.network 11 points 7 months ago

Just like my grandfather, peacefully in his sleep. Not screaming like his passengers

As peacefully and painlessly as possible. Preferably as little inconvenience to others as well. I hope to have all my affairs well in order and they better not pay money to put me in a box in the ground. I've told every family member I can. Donate what you can to others if possible and donate the rest to science for some med students to get practice.

[-] jasonbcfcufc@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago

in my sleep

[-] Gormadt 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

At an old age peacefully after having a satisfying life

Preferably before neurological decline sets in as I'd prefer to not go like I've seen so many others go; forgetting the faces of their loved ones

I'd also hope that I will have left happy memories with those that would remember me after I've passed. Stories they'd love to tell people. Stories their grandkids would love to hear.

Slowly over the course of months hooked up to every device to keep me "alive" in the ICU because my shitty relatives can't let me go otherwise they won't get to steal my social security checks every month. /s

Or peacefully while watching the sunrise over a beautiful snow capped mountain rage.

[-] swordsmanluke@programming.dev 6 points 7 months ago

As part of a destructive process of digitization.

[-] davidgro@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

False vacuum decay.

No pain or suffering, no worry about it coming, just instantaneous non-existence at literally the speed of light.

The big problem is it would be all of humanity (and everything else) and not just myself.
So not actually something I hope happens, just that if I have to die...

Similar would be being at the center of a large explosion or implosion - I understand that the passengers on that one submarine likely didn't have time to experience anything.

Quickly. No need to drag it out for months or years.

Just any painless method.

Originally, my favorite was inert gas asphyxiation. Based on previously found info, it seemed like the best option, just falling asleep and dying. Of course I was aware of the main risk: running out of the inert gas and again getting oxygen. That could result in permanent severe brain damage.
However I later found even worse stuff. Veterinarians apparently stopped using this method as the animals were showing severe signs of distress, meaning that it perhaps wouldn't be as painless.
Finally, there was a nitrogen hypoxia execution in Alabama recently:

Smith appeared to remain conscious for several minutes. For at least two minutes, he appeared to shake and writhe on the gurney, sometimes pulling against the restraints. That was followed by several minutes of heavy breathing, until breathing was no longer perceptible.

Source: AP News

Thus I finally ruled this out.

[-] blujan@sopuli.xyz 5 points 7 months ago

They fucked it up, he held his breath and caused himself pain because of course he didn't want to die and it's barbaric to kill people. But also, those spams that happened are after you have already lost consciousness
